February 17, 2016 – HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV:UCU) (OTCQX:UURAF) (“Ucore” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the preparations for the SuperLig®-One rare earth separation pilot plant (see Ucore Press Releases dated July 18, 2015 and November 16, 2015).

Approximately 40 tonnes of material sourced from the Company’s flagship Bokan – Dotson Ridge (“Bokan”) property was processed at Tomra Systems ASA (“Tomra”) of Koblenz Germany utilizing DEXRT ore sorting technology (“DEXRT”). The DEXRT process resulted in approximately 19 tonnes of sorted rare earth bearing material. The Tomra work represents the first step in the Company’s process flowsheet, delivering upgraded material that is consistent with prior test work, eliminating approximately 52% of the feed as waste while retaining 96% of the rare earth oxides (see Ucore Press Release dated June 25, 2013).
